I will hopefully be building my PC in the next day or two. And would really appreciate any comments, and please do not comment on getting a graphcis card (most likely the GTX 960 if it is releases this month or next year, GTX970 or GTX 980 when I can afford it).
This is primarily for school work and web browsing at the moment, gaming will be secondary, and I will be editing during my free time.
If you have any comments on the build then don't hesistate to tell me. I have a red and black theme and would like Intel. If you believe I should buy better parts then do tell me too. However I can only spend $50 or less above the current price (AUD$1,280).
